I'd bring kids into this world knowing that they'd be going to daycare. I'd bring kids into this world knowing that I'm not homeschooling them. I might even feed them a chicken nugget or two...from the freezer! *irresponsible as f*ck*

take her ovaries now.....lol

I'll be a terrible parent. I might even enjoy my time away from my offspring while they're at daycare. I'll stay home from work one day and...read a book with a glass of wine. Muahahahaha!

I don't
judge mothers who have no choice, but honestly putting my career aside
while the boys were under 6 was the best decision for my family. I loved doing activities with them, watching them grow up literally before my eyes.

Hubby
and I both agreed that we wanted me to stay home and I did. Now I did
use mother's day out programs to give myself a break. Daycare is very expensive, but I do think that they can be enriching for kids as well.

I plan to put my career on hold when I become a mom so I can stay home with my kids (And "boredom" isn't a word in my vocabulary because my kids and I will frequent the zoo, parks, museums, stay active, go outside, etc, cause we gangstas like that).

I agree...i don't get how mothers say they were "bored" while at home with their kids... My mom would take us everywhere and during that time we also took swim classes which im glad she did. More kids should learn how to swim before they start school.

But i think it goes back to having kids because you actually want them vs having kids bc thats what society says....

Well that's because they are able to take care of themselves and their children without outside help. Having a low-income doesn't mean you are lacking.

They generally have no debt and very few expenses. They live frugally and tend to be anti-consumerist, buying secondhand, using coupons, reduced price things, craigslist, recycling, etc. so that they can spend on the things they find most important.

They tend to prioritize being able to spend time with their children and having different experiences so they don't waste money on things like eating out or cable or buying brand new clothes, etc.

There is no way to keep them busy ALLL day, I'm sure your mom got bored sitting at activities.
